Friend of Fidel gets spray in medicine shop (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chemist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shop' is the definition.
(I know that chemist is a type of shop)

'friend of fidel gets spray' is the wordplay.
'friend of fidel' becomes 'che' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'spray' becomes 'mist' (misting is a kind of spraying).
'che'+'mist'='CHEMIST'

'in medicine' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chemist that I've seen before include "Employee in pharmacy" , "Shop selling medicines" , "Shop for drugs" , "drug dealer" , "Seller of medications" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
